The F1 experts predicted that the changes to the circuit would shave off about nine seconds from the lap times. But guess what? It turned out to be even more impressive. Carlos Sainz clocked a blistering lap at 1:32.120 seconds. That's not just faster; it's a whopping 10.913 seconds quicker than the same session last year.

Back in the 1960s, Toyota was looking to break the domination of Western luxury brands in the Japanese domestic chauffeur-driven car market. The Century was the result in 1967, and has been favoured by captains of industry in the Land of the Rising Sun ever since, powered initially by a V8, then a V12 for the second generation, and a hybrid V8 for the third generation. They were all sedans too. Enter the fourth generation Toyota Century in 2023. Code-named G70, this looks like Japan's answer to the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. However, it still embodies

Buckle up, my fellow petrolheads, because Maserati has just pulled the wraps off its MCXtrema, and let me tell you, it's not your run-of-the-mill Maserati. This one's a track-only beast, a true racing thoroughbred birthed from the loins of the already legendary MC20. So, if you thought Maserati was taking a leisurely stroll in the automotive park, think again. They're here to redefine the game, to disrupt the status quo. Much like that audacious kid, the MC20, which, by the way, marked a fresh dawn for Maserati.

The 2023 M2 is arguably BMW’s best new car on the market today. It’s quick, balanced, communicative, and still a thoughtful daily driver. All of the sugar, spice, and everything nice things you’d expect from a small car wearing the M badge. But here's the million-dollar question - can it conquer the track? You see, these M cars were born for the track, it’s in their blood (M standing for Motorsport, after all). Does this M2 live up to its ancestry, or is it just another posh toy with a “fancy” badge?
